Mutant Electron Transfer Flavoprotein Dehydrogenase
MADD
This gene encodes a component of the electron-transfer system in mitochondria and is essential for electron transfer from a number of mitochondrial flavin-containing dehydrogenases to the main respiratory chain. Mutations in this gene are associated with glutaric acidemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
Forensic Context
A study in humans using integrated single-cell transcriptomic datasets identified five core diagnostic biomarker genes for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including the ETFDH which was specifically enriched in a high oxidative stress cardiomyocyte subpopulation and demonstrated significant diagnostic capability in independent validation cohorts with an AUC of 0.717 [Hu et al.
